EVENT: WINTER WARMER OPEN MIC
VENUE: IMPACT HUB, 194 BAINES AVENUE

It is
not a secret that performing spaces that are artist friendly are very few in
Harare. Most establishments prefer the
polished product and young creatives often find themselves performing amongst
their friends and at home. Impact Hub
Harare opens its doors this Saturday, 1 June,
to budding artists. A host of
established and emerging artists are expected to converge at Impact Hub Harare,
2-5pm for the Winter Warmer Open Mic to celebrate the beauty that is
Africa by bringing together talented local artists and performers to the stage.
Impact Hub Harare is an impact
based hub passionate about bringing social innovators, entrepreneurs and
like-minded people together to create lasting and relevant impact by incubating
and accelerating social impact projects.
“We believe in bringing together communities and what better way to do
it than through music, comedy, poetry and dance,” said Tiffany who is the
Community Lead at the hub.

entertainment filled afternoon include musicians Tariro neGitare, Vera Zw,

The afternoon will consist of two
segments, one with budding creatives and the other with established
artists. This is meant to allow
networking and sharing of ideas between the budding and established artists. Also for the budding artists to learn how to
handle the stage as well as the audience to enhance their artistry.
Tariro neGitare promises a fresh
set with songs from her new album.
Whilst poets Madzitatiguru, Soprofund and Momo Size are promising a
memorable experience, with deep soulful poetry worth the audience’s ears.
